Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with $AB<CD$. The diagonals intersect at the point $F$ and lines $AD$ and $BC$ intersect at the point $E$. Let $K$ and $L$ be the orthogonal projections of $F$ onto lines $AD$ and $BC$ respectively, and let $M$, $S$ and $T$ be the midpoints of $EF$, $CF$ and $DF$ respectively. Prove that the second intersection point of the circumcircles of triangles $MKT$ and $MLS$ lies on the segment $CD$. [i](Greece - Silouanos Brazitikos)[/i]

Let $\Delta ABC$ be a triangle with orthocenter $H$ and $\Gamma$ be the circumcircle of $\Delta ABC$ with center $O$. Consider $N$ the center of the circle that passes through the feet of the heights of $\Delta ABC$ and $P$ the intersection of the line $AN$ with the circle $\Gamma$. Suppose that the line $AP$ is perpendicular to the line $OH$. Prove that $P$ belongs to the reflection of the line $OH$ by the line $BC$.

Given a non-right triangle $ABC$ with $BC>AC>AB$. Two points $P_1 \neq P_2$ on the plane satisfy that, for $i=1,2$, if $AP_i, BP_i$ and $CP_i$ intersect the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$ at $D_i, E_i$, and $F_i$, respectively, then $D_iE_i \perp D_iF_i$ and $D_iE_i = D_iF_i \neq 0$. Let the line $P_1P_2$ intersects the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $Q_1$ and $Q_2$. The Simson lines of $Q_1$, $Q_2$ with respect to $ABC$ intersect at $W$. Prove that $W$ lies on the nine-point circle of $ABC$.

Given are triangle $ABC$ and line $\ell$ intersecting $BC, CA$ and $AB$ at points $A_1, B_1$ and $C_1$ respectively. Point $A'$ is the midpoint of the segment between the projections of $A_1$ to $AB$ and $AC$. Points $B'$ and $C'$ are defined similarly. (a) Prove that $A', B'$ and $C'$ lie on some line $\ell'$. (b) Suppose $\ell$ passes through the circumcenter of $\triangle ABC$. Prove that in this case $\ell'$ passes through the center of its nine-points circle. [i]M. Marinov and N. Beluhov[/i]

Let $AE$ be a diameter of the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$. Join $E$ to the orthocentre, $H$, of $\triangle ABC$ and extend $EH$ to meet the circle again at $D$. Prove that the nine point circle of $\triangle ABC$ passes through the midpoint of $HD$. Note. The nine point circle of a triangle is a circle that passes through the midpoints of the sides, the feet of the altitudes and the midpoints of the line segments that join the orthocentre to the vertices.
